In this candid and self-aware episode of The Kinda Funny Podcast, hosts Greg Miller and Roger Picorni tackle the meta-question 'How to Fix Kinda Funny' by diving into listener feedback and internal company dynamics. The conversation unfolds as a mix of humor, vulnerability, and strategic reflection, with the hosts acknowledging their 11-year-old company's growth, limitations, and evolving identity. They explore listener suggestions ranging from more asynchronous community engagement and retro game content to reviving old formats like KFAF and launching a 24/7 live stream channel. Despite the playful tone, the core message is clear: the team is not broken, but they are intentional about balancing passion, audience expectations, and operational reality. The episode reveals the deep care behind their work, from snack drawer culture to algorithmic struggles, while celebrating the unique chemistry that defines their brand.
